Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is Key for Your Child's Future
English isn't just about analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' or structuring an essay; it's the foundation for so much more. A solid Grade 5 or above in GCSE English is often the key that unlocks the door to their chosen A-Levels and builds the critical thinking skills needed for competitive university courses at places like Leicester or Warwick. It gives them the confidence to express their ideas clearly, a skill they'll use for the rest of their lives.

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to NWSLC or Heath Lane Academy. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many parents in Earl Shilton share this goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the Grade 5s and above needed for post-16 places. They can focus specifically on the GCSE curriculum, helping your child build skills and confidence to get the results they need for their chosen path.
We're hoping for a university like Leicester or Warwick. How can an English tutor help with that long-term goal?
That's a fantastic ambition. A strong foundation in English is crucial for success in many A-Levels and for writing a compelling personal statement. A tutor can help your child develop the analytical and essay-writing skills that top universities look for, starting with securing an excellent GCSE grade.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Think about your child's personality and learning style – are they quiet and in need of gentle encouragement, or do they thrive on energetic debate? Finding the right match is key.
How much does an online English tutor cost in Earl Shilton?
Our tutors set their own prices, so there's a wide range to suit different budgets. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an experienced, affordable tutor without any hidden costs.
How can tutoring really help my child's confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. When a tutor helps them finally grasp a tricky concept, that 'aha!' moment is a huge confidence booster that carries over into the classroom.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is everything. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has been through an identity check and has a valid DBS background check. We also interview every applicant and are very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 who apply to our platform.
How can a tutor help my child improve their GCSE English grade specifically?
Our tutors are experts in the GCSE syllabus. They can help your child break down exam questions, improve their essay structure, analyse texts effectively, and manage their time in an exam. This targeted support is why many of our students improve their final GCSE grade by up to two grades.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. Your child and their tutor can work through exam papers, analyse texts, and plan essays together in real-time, just as they would in person.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long session per week is ideal for making steady progress without feeling overwhelmed. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent sessions in the run-up to an exam or less frequent ones for general support – whatever works best for your child.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have expert tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child can learn practical skills like coding or a new language, or even take up a hobby like guitar or singing.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today! Simply browse our tutors, send a message to the ones you like, and you can often book your first session for within a few days. Many parents are surprised by how quick and easy it is to find the perfect support for their child.
